An advantage frequently results from alternating the clover crops with rye and buckwheat, and when used for this purpose tne rye suouiu oe lurueo under as soon as the heads apiear and before the gram is formed in order to prevent it from becoming so hnrd and oody as not to mix wen wiiu wie son. 3. A constant attention to clean seed and in nrocurinv and improving the va rieties will sometimes make an tne uu- rence between encouramng profits and iscouraninir failure. Various graces ol success will result between the two. 4. Convenient tools and convenient buildings will be essential in all good farming. The lalior of horses will be better and cheauer than hard work by hand. Costly and. complex machines are not wanted; a few simple and ellicient innli'inenta mav accomplish a great deal, A spacious toolhonse and shelter for all when not in use may keep them in smooth running order and double their durability. 1'lows, harrows, culti vators, harvesting implements, seed cleaners and variot 1 hand tools will often make the difference between clean, met low land with growing, luxuriant crops and weedy, slipshod premises. fv llompstiR Animals. rne most Drot- itable breeds or grades are obviously ol much importance, the rapid increase of one animalB ot late years giving oppor tunities all through the eountry for se curing what mav be desired. Poor ani mals are not wanted by purchasers, but good ones pay better in several ways. 6. Raising Fruit. The fanner who has established a good routine of work for the season cannot have tins series uronen in upon by work of a different character, which the marketing of perishable small fruits would require. It he carried on his thriftv larm work efficiently, he wouiu be led to give imperfect attention to the berries and not attend properly to the work of cultivating, picking, assorting, selecting market and other essentials ; and it is this attempt to carry on at once two unlike kinds of business that has given the copious supply of poor fruit in the markets ol the country at large, ur charding winter apples, however, is not liable to same objection, where the delay of two or three days may not destroy the chances of a whole crop, as with perish able fruits. The farmer may make the raising of winter apples a part of his farm routine. Tbe required pruning of the trees need not check his other oiera- tions; the application of fertilizers to the sou need not tnterlere with their ap plication to other crops, ami the spray ing of the trees would be a" easily done as the work on the potato bugs. The careful assorting of only the best for bar reling and shipping might properly lorm apartol the autumn work, iiiiscxciu sion of perishable fruits from the bus! ness ot marketing should never prevent the moderate farmer from raising a fam ily supply, requiring but a small portion of the care and labor of select market ing. Strawberries, cherries, raspberries and currants, which would do their own marketing on the farmer's table, and a sufficient supply of peaches, pears and grapes neea not require any suennce 01 j 1- - - the growth 01 other crops. 7. Vigilance, temperance 'and estab lished order will be absolutely necessary to make farming pay in the best manner. The farmer must not spend his hours in idle talk at the blacksmith shop, tavern or saloon, nor make his reading of frivo lous publications. The young farmer who has not succeeded in making farming pay to his satisfaction must not expect to accomplish his desires at a dash in a single year. A steady, onward progress will reach a great dea'l in the end. The business will become attractive to him aa he succeeds, in the same wav that fail ure wonld render it repulsive to him and tend to drive him to other operations to which greater- objections would be found. Jub'a t'lugue. The superintendent was talking to the little eties about the plagues of Kgypt. "Now," said he, "can you tell me what the plague werer There were prompt answers, and all but on ot th plazuva were named. Tbe last one waa too much for the school. Thinking help nut th children by suggestion, th su perintendent said: "Dont yon remember the otherl course you kuow what Job had." A little hand went up. "WeU, Tommy, what wa It!" "Patience."

Meg wheeled the carriuge close to tnesnow window and fastened tne wneei wnn atone so that it couldn't roll off. Julia sat still, gazed with attention at the resoleudent advertisements of Jenk'a soap and Tompkins' ginger, although she must have known these placards oy ucaro. Babies have to endure so much which they do not understand that tt is not surprising that the become Dhilosophers. Hurd's was crowded, as It always was in tbe morning, but Meg did not object to waiting. She chatted with Katie Allen and Lou French, and even .drew out ner uuy and did two rows before the salesman bad time to attend to her. Then she ordered sugar and tea with s-rand an air as that worn by Mrs. Pouson bv. who "resided" In a lour story Drown stone bouse oa a styiisu avenue, wnue Meg lived in a "third Hat." , "Wait for mel" said Katie Allen. "I've got to go to the butcher's." "All right," answered Meg. She waited, and when Katie started she walked with her, talking briskly, down the street almost a block before she suddenly cried, "Oh! I forgot the babyl" "What baby r" asked Katie. "Why, I had our baby with me, and I've gone and left the carriage outside the store!" "There wasn't any baby at the door when we came out," replied Katie. "Sure enough," said Meg, "there wasn't!" She gazed in bewilderment at Kate's round eyes, and then cried: "Ob, I know! I came in at the otner door that's it She's round on Harrison street." Tbe girls ran laughingly liuck.and turned the corner. There was no baby nor car riage there. , ' They stared nt each other, and Katie would have laughed, but that Meg looked so solemn. "Perhaps you didn't bring her." "Yes, I did! I left here just here. I know I did!" Could the carriage have rolled down the street!" Meg looked up and down tbe street in vain, tio carriage waa lu signt. Perhaps a policeman thought she was lost and took ber to the station house," suggested Kate. Meg began to cry. Kate s words seemed cruel. "Run home quick and tell your mother about It!" Meg took Katie's advice. She ran fast, for she waa fiighteued. Mra. Sackett heard ber story, and gave ber a severe scolding for carelessness. Some boy took it to scare you. It must be about tbe neighborhood. Go and look!" She ordered. She was a bard workiug woman, and treated things iu a matter of (act way.-. . 1 Rut when Meg came back to report that no one bod seen bnby or carriage any where, Mrs. Suckett became alarmed. She forgot to scold this time. She put on her bonnet and seurcheil the street thorough ly. She inquired at all the stores, and even went to the police station. . Coming bock from her fruitless expedl tlon she dropued wearily into a chair by the door. Meg amid not bear to see ber mother's white f iice. She picked up her bat and crept down stairs. An orgau man was playing a lively tune, and Lou French's little sisters were dano- lug to the music, , Tbey came up to ask Meg "If tbe baby was found," and Meg, without looking nt them, choked and rushed down the street. She walked on in a breathless state for several blocks, and happened to pause for breath just where there sat, on a doorstep, a boy about twelve years old, with a woebegone and tear stain ed face. Meg looked at him and asked abruptly, "What's the matter! Have you lost baby!" Lost a babyl" shouted tbe boy indig nantly. "You clear out of this!" He seemed to look as if be thought she was making sport of him. Meg waa glad to "clear." She bad only spoken out of the abundance of her thoughts. She walked along, surveying absently the windows she passed. She wondered if all the babies who lived in those houses were safe, or If their parent were bunting for any of thera In grocery stores and police stations. At the next corner she stopped again. Three women stood there talking. Said one of them, a small woman: "I told her, any I. 'Mrs. Smith, yon'd better report it at tho station house. It belongs to somebody that's looking for it, of coarse!' says L" , - . . "She wouldn't take the trouble. She's too elrgnutl" remarked a stout womun, sarcastically.
